HOLLAND AMERICA BOARD'S FUTURE CRUISE LISTING Updated May 27th, 2022 We all love to hear what cruises you are booked on. I post the Bon Voyage threads 7 days before sailing so, to be included in this: Post 3 weeks in advance so you aren’t missed. 1st cruise, anniversary, special celebration? Let us know. Details needed are in the 2nd post of this thread. Please use REPLY and not QUOTE when posting to this thread. Using 'Quote' makes a very long thread and cumbersome to read. Don’t mistake this for a Roll Call. Go to the Roll Call Section here on Cruise Critic to find your cruise & sign up.

Jacqui

Me too - but I’m doing Norway with a nice warm Med / Spain, Lisbon and Gibraltar before hand. Norway was a far bigger attraction for me as I have been to some of the spots on the British Isles segments - happy to go back but Norway is new and I have to do it before I talk myself out of going into cold weather (like we don’t have enough here 😉)

Happy to add it for you 🙂. I’m pretty sure you are going to have fun on this one 😉

@rafinmdvery sweet of you to put me on the Care list but it’s ok, really. You can take me off. My FP has fixed it temporarily (the bank is paying 😉) until the cheque arrives from Jose’s pension payable to the Estate. Another trip to the bank - but it is what it is. Sounds lovely. If it didn’t conflict with my cruise I would happily join you 😉 Sorry to hear about your DH. Glad to hear he is not having any severe symptoms. 😊. Yay on you being Negative still. I hear you on being the sickly one. DH was never sick. I didn’t catch a lot but got caught a lot. I am amazed with nearly 6 months of trips to the cesspool of the hospital I did not end up with covid and I tested regularly to protect Jose, the hospital workers and my friends in my bubble. When I got my booster yesterday, the pharmacist was surprised I had not had covid. he said I was in the minority. He didn’t recommend changing the booster so all 4 of mine are Pfizer. Good to hear 👍 Enjoy every minute of it. So many have waited so long for these weddings. If there are a bunch together - so be it. Wishing them all joy in their new lives and you joy being there ♥️ Yay Jane 👍. Smart to get a techie. And believe me if I need help for mine, I will - hopefully I can fake it. Wishing you a truly fabulous cruise Good news on your friend and on the assistance you are going to get at long last. Hope it can help 🙏🏻

Weird you would think it would be the same on all IPads. 😠 Sorry it didn’t work for you.

Thanks. I honestly wasn’t sure if yours was included or not. Appreciate you confirming although I am sorry your plans have been thrown askew 😔

Hoping things do continue to improve for you all 🙏 Your pride is well deserved with the challenges he had 👍 Good for him! Glad to hear that he didn’t suffer from a heart attack. 👍 Hoping the rehab facility can help him improve 🤞

Thanks for our Thursday Daily, Rich. Sally Ride is certainly worthy of celebration - first woman and I think still the youngest American to go into space. I’ll pass on Dracula Day and DH always said red heads can have temper and a wicked sense of humour (yes my hair can go red in the sun - LOL). Love today’s quote and intrigued by the meal and wine suggestions for today. Looking forward to hearing about them. I’m stuck to the house and the phone until I get the call from the technician that he will be here for my smoke alarm (part of the security system) which has to be replaced (expired). Time slot is 8-5 - ugh- so I hope he comes earlier versus later 🤞 Nevertheless - I’m going to try to get some clean up done outside today. I’ll have to watch out for the sun 😉 Arm is just a bit tender and I’m a tad achy but I’m sure that will dissipate quickly. In any case the booster is worth it, at least, to me. Prayers for everyone on the Care list & for those that need them and a 🥂 to those on the Celebratory / Shout out list. Have a great Thursday everyone !!!! Stay safe and please don’t forget your 😷 when / where needed.

Thanks Roy. Very thoughtful of you. 👍 I will copy and paste it to today’s Daily (unless Rich does it of course). Hope everything goes smoothly for you today 🤞

Just go to the next step where you choose your cabin (and cabin availabily for a certain floor is displayed) and the option to select a cabin is there: Hope this makes sense and helps 🤞

Agree B.C. (Before covid), the white wine choices in SBP were not great and I would have gone to Elite IF I had elected to do the package. Most times I nixed it because of the poor choices in the past. the white wine choices in the SBP have really improved (thankfully) and I see no benefit as a whit wine drinker to got to Elite.

I have never understood what the fuss was on a butler. i had one on my O cruise and other than bring me tea when I had a cough - he did nothing for us. I could have called and gotten the same thing from room service or gone to the Neptune Lounge and made my own and had it when I wanted it. Sorry if am obtuse, but the concierges on HAL have done more for me than the butler on O. i don’t understand why everyone was gushing over them. JME.

Thanks 🙂 I’ll check this year’s time table and if that’s the case, I’ll be flying if I do it; You are ahead of me - but that doesn’t take too much lately 😉

I am checking it out. We did the high speed train from Rotterdam to Paris - the trains in Europe are great other than schlepping luggage 😉 thanks 🙂

Wow - I could be very tempted by that last one. My cruise leaves on the 6th but out of Barcelona. Love Amsterdam and quite sure the high speed train gets you to at least Madrid, if not Barcelona. Thanks 🙂

No you can’t pay the difference. If it’s over the price tag, you will be charged the entire cost of the drink.

ArriveCan is what you need to enter Canada - you need it if you are flying in or arriving on a ship, I believe. If you have an Ipad or even a laptop, I believe you can complete it. You DO have to do it. Anything with app capacity can do it. Verifly is a method to make your boarding faster on board and even on planes. It will save a lot of time boarding 😉

Hi Dot! Happy to add them both for you 👍 I think they should both be a lot of fun 🤞

No worries Lenda - at least not as far as I am concerned. I think I can safely say we all know you would never deliberately offend - don’t even give it a second thought. Your intentions were good and a smile is always a good thing to try to give to someone ♥️ @Seasick Sailorcould you drop me a quick email please? Something I need to alert you to. Thank you 🙂

Thanks for our Hump Day Daily, Rich. Good collection of days - especially Missing Children - there are far too many of them 😢 Jane Austen was a woman, wasn’t she? I guess her mind works differently than mine 😉 The meal suggestion sounds yummy. Won’t see today’s port until next year, hopefully 🤞 Another frost warning last night. ‘Sigh’ The silly things we do to protect our babies. My sister said why not move them into the garage - I told her I had too many planters - hopefully the dahlias are ok - I didn’t cover them figuring the earth would protect them. Today’s day was off to a bad start hearing more deaths in Texas. The whole situation is so sad and so needless with a few precautions like we take here in Canada with standard gun regulations. A problem with my bank account due to DH’s death which shouldn’t have happened didn’t help. Hopefully my FP has it fixed up by the time I get back from my booster this morning. I don’t handle problems very well, right now. Safe travels. I hope you can find some joy in the graduation despite the very sad events 🤞 No memes today - not a day for joking - at least not for me. Prayers for everyone on the Care list, the souls lost in Uvalde & those that need them and a 🥂 to those on the Celebratory / Shout Out list. Have a great Wednesday everyone. Stay safe & please don’t forget your 😷 when / where needed.

What a great way to kick off the month of June - sailing on a BHB 👍 Whether our CC friends are headed to the Med or Alaska, we hope they enjoy all the sights and everything their ports offer. And of course, we wish them a great time on board with fair winds and smooth seas. Bon Voyage to Oosterdam - 12 day Mediterranean Tapestry: gailellen12 Sharon in AZ Bon Voyage to Zuiderdam - 7 day Alaskan Inside Passage: NCTribeFan - B2B with June 8th - enjoy your 1st visit to Alaska Bon Voyage everyone !!!!! Have a great cruise and a WONDERFUL time !!!!!

A very happy birthday to your DH 🙂 Excellent news 🙂 Hang in there and try to rest and take care of yourself. Recovery takes time sadly. So agree - 19 children murdered along with a teacher. Truly heartbreaking 💔

WOW! I never knew they gave free NS. WOW. Enjoy 🙂
